For those that are curious it displays a Quora answer that states:

>Thomas Running

>Running was invented in 1612 by Thomas Running when he tried to walk twice at the same time.

It's actually quite and interesting post if you follow the link. Obviously it's not correct in the purest form but there is justification for this answer.

I wonder if GPT-3 has learned about Mr Running yet?

I don’t know, but I feel like our societal perfect storm + AI + time will get us there.
